I enjoy being able to make my own 'radio' stations.

I have a few quibbles. A given song cannot belong to more than one station. This means that my Yes station and my Enya station cannot both have some of Wakeman's music or Jon Anderson's collaborations with Vangelis.

One of my quibbles comes from one of my surprises. I had not known until recently that Mannheim Steamroller's real name is Chip. Yes, Chip. He is and was a solo performer, but used a band name as it was likelier to get his work recognized.

Well, at one point, he and a friend got together and made a few recordings under a different name. C. W. McCall, I believe, was the name. One piece that popped out when I added Mannheim Steamroller to my Enya station was Convoy by CW McCall!

I kept it, because it amuses me for many reasons. (9 long haired friends of Jesus in a chartreuse microbus, indeed!) But by keeping it, it adds a certain flavor to the station that is hard to cull.

I want to have an "exception" option that allows me to throw in ringers that don't fit the general theme I am after, but which add a flavor I want.
